Thirty years later, Amy is still quilting. She loves exploring new styles and trying new techniques. After many years of renting time on a longarm at a local shop, she purchased her own machine.
She now quilts professionally on an HQ Infinity with the HQ Pro‐Stitcher. Amy teaches quilting classes at her local shop, ranging from ruler classes to longarm classes. She also travels to give one‐on‐one instruction to new machine owners.
